National Forklift Safety Day – June 10th

🛑 National Forklift Safety Day – June 10th

Prioritizing Safety Around Powered Industrial Equipment

Each year, National Forklift Safety Day serves as a reminder of the critical role forklift safety plays in preventing workplace injuries. At ActionOnsite, we work alongside frontline teams to reduce risk, educate workers, and reinforce safe behaviors in high-traffic, high-demand environments.

Key Focus Areas:

• Recognizing forklift "danger zones"

• Encouraging proper pedestrian/operator communication

• Preventing common overexertion and impact injuries

• Promoting proactive job coaching and ergonomic support

Whether it's coaching safer movement patterns, identifying blind spots in workflow, or promoting early reporting of discomforts, our goal is to protect the health and well-being of every industrial athlete.

💡 Tip from the Field: A simple habit like making eye contact with the operator before crossing a forklift’s path can drastically reduce incident risk.

Let’s continue to build a culture where safety is visible, proactive, and part of every shift.
